I will be creating a bespoke burlwood necklace. I have narrowed down the materials and forms that I will employ in the piece. I will emphasize the burlwood intricate pore-like details as one of the main features of the necklace itself. Burlwood as a materials is rare, and over many years a trees grain may grow inward. Creating knots that protect itself from strain and illness to aid in survival. A burlwood veneers is cutting theses knots open into thin layers. One can see the tree grains and it's multitude of scaring it -the tree endured to preserver. I will paint an undercoat of gold leaf that will be seen through the pore-like details of the burlwood. As well I will utilize merino wool felt fabric in the necklace to insure comfort to the wearer. Or any soft fabric if needed. A live edge burlwood piece will act as a gemstone which will be asymmetrically framed with durable pine wood, sections will be then gilded in gold leaf or covered with a burlwood veneer....
